2-09 Bow .Spirits
After a while, a few hard bows were obtained, and Grandpa Guo picked up one and dragged it casually and said: "This is a six-stone bow, the general strong archer uses this, although it is an ordinary step bow, but the materials are very particular, dry, horn, tendon, silk, glue, lacquer six materials from all over the Celestial Empire, the materials are very particular, you try this first."
After the competition just now, Grandpa Guo has already determined that Liu Ziguang is a skill-based talent, and since he has lost two games, he has to regain face in the strength competition. The six-stone bow is no longer something that ordinary people can pull at will. One stone is equivalent to ninety-four catties, and a six-stone bow is a hard bow of five hundred and sixty-four catties. If Liu Ziguang can't pull it away, then Grandpa Guo can easily pull a few full bows and win this one, if Liu Ziguang can pull this bow, it doesn't matter, Grandpa Guo still has a back hand, and there are several stronger bows than this.
Sure enough, Liu Ziguang easily pulled away the six-stone bow, for him, it was similar to pulling a tension device that only had one spring and had been pulling for seven or eight years, and had been loose. It's just pediatric.
After everyone watched Liu Ziguang draw the bow, they looked at Grandpa Guo with blank eyes, Grandpa Guo was a little unexpected, this kid still has a little strength, it doesn't matter. "Come on, take my Western Yi bow to General Liu."
The subordinate who had been waiting on the side for a long time brought over a huge bow, Liu Ziguang picked it up and gestured, and stood up a head taller than him, about two meters long, a Western import, probably the British longbow in the Age of Empires game, the kind used by Robin Hood.
Grandpa Guo continued to explain: "This Western Yi bow, it is said to be a divine weapon of Western countries, can penetrate six iron armor, the archers with this bow are carefully selected tall and long arm length of the big man, even so, these archers are still because of the long-term pull of the bow, resulting in the twisting of the spine, the strength of this bow can be seen, the bow body and the bow of the Celestial Empire is different, it is a single bow, made of excellent yew wood, the archers of this father, can pull this bow is rare, General Liu, you have to be careful." β
Liu Ziguang said in his heart, isn't it just a British bow, it is so mysterious, I have to pull it open more than a dozen times today. Hold the bow at the moment, hook the bowstring with his right hand, and suddenly exert force, and immediately pull the bowstring under the ear, is it not as hard as imagined. Liu Ziguang simply changed the shape of his hand, continued to pull back, and pulled the longbow away like a pulling device, only to hear a "snap", the bowstring broke, and was strongly rebounded by the extremely curved yew wood bow, making a buzzing sound.
"Good divine power!" Grandpa Guo couldn't help but admire, in fact, his heart was also dripping blood, and the Western Yi bow that he had to get in his hands after many times was broken like this. But on the surface, he pretends not to care. Beckoned the subordinates to continue with the bow. However, this time he confessed two sentences in advance: "Xiao Liu, your divine power has been taught by my father, this bow is my father's beloved thing, made by the special craftsmen of the palace for six years, you can pull it open, don't break it again." β
Liu Ziguang hurriedly made amends: "If you know that you are wrong, you must cherish it." "Look at the newly presented bow in my hand, the bow body is made of rubber, and the gold hoop and jade horns on it are very exquisite, and even the silk thread wrapped around the handshake is different, and it is very comfortable to hold.
This is a typical hyperbolic reverse curve compound bow, the materials are exquisite, and even the raw materials must be taken to pay attention to the right time, six years to make a bow, just artificial, it is worth a lot. Liu Ziguang did not have the vice of deliberately destroying other people's favorite things, he carefully picked up the bow, and with very light force, he tried to pull it, but he only pulled it a little.
The grandfather on the side laughed, "Xiao Liu, you can't do it, you must know that this bow is sixteen stone power, and even my father and I can barely pull it once or twice." β
Such a hard bow, since it can't be pulled away, what's the point, when it is a pulling device, the brain structure of this grandfather is really extraordinary, Liu Ziguang pulled the bow again, and pulled the hard bow of sixteen stones into a full moon without hurry, and also stood in a lunge by the way, making Huang Rihua's bent bow and shooting the eagle eagle in the legend of the Condor Heroes. After pulling it, he didn't let go, and he pulled it for six full moons in a row, his face was not red, and he was not panting. calmly returned the bow to Grandpa Guo.
Grandpa Guo didn't answer, and praised with his palms: "Not only can you wear Yang in a hundred steps, but you can also open a hard bow, this treasure bow belongs to you, and it is rare to meet a bosom friend in my house, and I have wronged this bow." β
Liu Ziguang hurriedly excused himself: "How can this make the gentleman not win the love of others, this bow is indeed a magic weapon, and I dare not ask for it." β
Grandpa Guo feigned anger: "What, General Liu looks down on my country's government, I, Xu Xiyong, the Duke of Wei, have a word, and there is no reason to take back what I sent out." General Liu is also afraid that if he asks for a bow, he will be able to bankrupt my government. β
Originally, Liu Ziguang was fake polite, but after hearing this, he was no longer humble: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, can you give two pots of arrows that ..... matching?" β
Grandpa Guo laughed again: "Sure enough, it's refreshing, come here, take my special carved steel arrowhead to chase the wind and arrows, three-edged, whistle-blowing, thin dagger, take a pot for each of them, wrap the riding bow and the white rainbow treasure knife together, and send it back to General Liu's place." It's not early, and my father prepared a thin wine for the Peng family's sister and General Liu to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and today I won't get drunk and won't return. β
At the banquet, Peng Jingrong tried to ask about the arrears of the Ministry of War, and the grandfather patted his chest red, saying that he was wrapped in himself, and the good daughter was red like a marquee, and poured it into the cup The wine is orange and yellow, the wine is fragrant and fragrant, and the wine is sweet and mellow. Sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, fresh, astringent, all six flavors. Grandpa Guo's wine was booming, he drank eighteen glasses in a row, even the Peng sisters drank a few glasses, Xu Xiyuan also drank a small half jar, only Liu Ziguang pinched his nose and couldn't drink it, isn't this just rice wine for cooking, not as strong as liquor, not as fresh and sweet as beer, Liu Ziguang really couldn't drink it, and after a few sips, he excused himself and said no.
Grandpa Guo finally found his strength, "You can't drink, are you still a man?" Hahaha. He drank three more glasses in a row, showing that he was extraordinary. Liu Ziguang pouted: "Jiangnan daughter is red, it is a bar that my daughter drinks, I only like to drink liquor from the north." That's a real man's wine. β
"Oh, Xiao Liu is still so Yaxing. Earlier, there is nothing else in my house, good horses, soldiers, fine wine, that is everything. Come on, take Hengshui Lao Bai from Hebei! β
A jar of high-grade liquor Hengshui Lao Baigan was delivered, the mud seal was opened, the choking smell of wine spewed out, and several young ladies fanned their noses together, Peng Jingwei also said: "Hey, isn't this the fuel in my father's ironclad chariot, how can I use it as fine wine." β
"That's right, that's it, this is enough." Liu Ziguang didn't wait for Yahuan to make a move, poured a cup by himself, drank it with his teeth, smacked his lips unsatisfied, took a shallow bowl of vegetables, poured the dish into another plate, poured a full bowl, drank it all, felt a line of fire flow from his throat to his stomach, and then ignited a raging fire in his stomach, spirits, absolute spirits, sixty-five degrees is certain, just ignite the fire, this is a man's drink.
Liu Ziguang hurriedly tore a large piece of salted duck leg and ate it, eating and eating, and unconsciously moved his leg onto the chair, and the habit of squatting on the ground to eat for two years made him not very suitable for sitting on the chair.
Seeing Liu Ziguang's vulgar behavior, Grandpa Guo not only did not get angry, but also gave a thumbs up, "Okay!" What a temperament, what a hero! Come on, bring the sea bowl to the big hero under the city of Liguo. β
Today, this wine is drunk, and Grandpa Guo also mixed it with wine, drank three jars of daughter red, and one jar of old white. Liu Ziguang is only a lot more, and the whole five altars are old and white. It's just drinking liquor as beer, or beer that doesn't cost money, fortunately it's all small jars, otherwise it's clear water, and it will hurt your stomach.
After drinking, the grandfather of the country was already drunk, and he complained a lot about the government, what eunuchs were in charge, and he actually let him be a hereditary prince of the country, a super fierce general to be the commander of the filial piety guard, there was a war in the north that could not participate, and he could only guard the spirits of the emperors of the past dynasties.
Hearing that her brother began to complain, Xu Yuanhui hurriedly asked the subordinates to retreat, and said to the Peng sisters with a sad face: "Don't be afraid of the jokes of the sisters, today's Guogong Mansion is not as good as before, don't look at the brother's cowhide blowing, in fact, his words are only a little useful in Xiaolingwei, the Ministry of War will not buy the account of our government at all, and the current imperial court is all nine thousand-year-old protΓ©gΓ©s in power, and even in this mansion, I don't know how many spies from Dongchang." β
The fifteen-year-old girl said such age-inappropriate words, which made the Peng sisters understand that today's Jingshi is no longer the Jingshi of the past, and this million taels of silver is probably more difficult than imagined.
Grandpa Guo finally got drunk and lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, Xu Xiyuan sighed and said, "My brother hasn't been so drunk for a long time. Then he summoned a few subordinates, helped the grandfather into the room to rest, and let the kitchen cook the decanting soup.
Liu Ziguang was very depressed, because he was not drunk, he didn't know that there was already a special enzyme in his body that could decompose alcohol. I didn't notice that a few young ladies looked at him as if they were looking at a monster.
The Peng sisters lived in the Guogong Mansion today, but they did not arrange a room for Liu Ziguang, so he could only go to the Lianfeng in Nanjing to stay. The servants of the ironworks were already well fed and drunk at the other table. Now accompany Liu Ziguang back to Lian Feng.
After saying goodbye, Liu Ziguang saw that the area around the Confucius Temple was still brightly lit and lively, and Liu Ziguang asked the third shopkeeper of Lian Feng who accompanied him: "Is there anything interesting on the Qinhuai River?" Right now. β
The third shopkeeper is also a young man, and he said that Vice General Liu is a countryman in the end, and he has never seen the world, and it must be time to sleep if he wants to take it in the outer house, but this is a Jingshi, and the nightlife has just begun.
"Back to the deputy general, these ten miles of Qinhuai, all rely on night business, dignitaries, peddlers and pawns, they all like to listen to music and drink on the street restaurant or the painting boat in the river after taking the lamp, and sleep in the willows by the way, leaning on the red and green." As he spoke, the third shopkeeper also smiled lewdly. I have just heard that this lieutenant is not drunk with a thousand cups, man, of course he has to mess around after drinking, it is justified.
The third shopkeeper speculated on Vice General Liu's thoughts with his obscene and obscene thoughts, in fact, Liu Ziguang was thinking of Qin Huai Bayan in historical legends, and he couldn't say which eight of them, anyway, what Dong Xiaoyun, Liu Ruis and other names are like thunder. I finally came here once, and I had to look at everything.
"The three shopkeepers, lead the way in front of the head, go to the most famous painting boat, and I am going to see the scenery of Qinhuai." Liu Ziguang said with a mouth full of the smell of dried white potato wine.
